Global Design Project #365 Color Challenge

 Hello again,


I'm back today with a Christmas card (can it really be that late in the year?!) for the Global Design Project #365.  I have been making lots of fall cards lately for my Etsy shop but for this color scheme I decided to break out my Christmas stamps and dies.  I've seen some lovely poinsettia cards over the years and finally broke down and got some poinsettia dies this year.  I always hesitate to buy more Christmas supplies because they can only be used for such a small portion of the year, but since I plan to make all my own Christmas cards again this year (last year was the first time I accomplished that since I've had kids), I figured something new was justified.  ;). 

This is such a pretty color palette:


Normally I stick to more traditional red and dark green for my Christmas cards, but I could just imagine pretty poinsettias in those pinks.  Here is what I came up with:


I just love the dimension those poinsettias provide.  The color is a little off no matter how I tried.  Unfortunately my good camera gave up the ghost and my phone camera just isn't cutting it.   I guess I know what to ask for for Christmas.

The Poinsettia die is from Momenta (Hobby Lobby) I hadn't used that brand before.  The sentiment is from Paper Rose. 

Thanks for stopping by!
